Nomura EU Launches French SRI Label AIF for SDG Investing
Abstract：Nomura EU launches French SRI label accredited AIF, aligning with UN SDGs and AIFMD compliance for energy transition investment.
Nomura Asset Management EU (NAM EU) has successfully introduced a French Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) fully accredited with the French SRI label, marking a significant milestone in responsible investing in Europe. This fund strategically targets energy and ecological transition sectors and aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), meeting stringent sustainable investment standards.
French SRI Label and Regulatory Compliance
The new fund complies with the tough requirements of the French SRI label version 3.0, emphasizing transparency in ESG disclosures and rigorous ESG fund governance. Conformance to the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) ensures the fund adheres to comprehensive EU regulatory frameworks, providing investors with confidence in the funds governance, risk management, and compliance.
Aligning with UN SDGs and Energy Transition
Nomura‘s strategy integrates UN Sustainable Development Goals into its global equity investments, focusing on climate impact investing and supporting the energy transition. The fund’s approach reflects growing investor interest in sustainable finance, particularly funds that contribute to ecological sustainability and carbon reduction initiatives.
Legal Expertise and Fund Structuring
The Zeidler Group acted as legal counsel, guiding NAM EU through the complex fund structuring and regulatory engagement processes needed to secure both the SRI label and AIFMD compliance. Their expertise ensured the fund's governance framework and investment documentation met both French national standards and European regulatory expectations.
Growing Demand for Responsible Investing
The successful launch and immediate accreditation of this fund underscore the rising European investor demand for products that combine financial performance with responsible investing principles. Nomura Asset Management EUs commitment demonstrates leadership in advancing ESG transparency and sustainable investment opportunities in alignment with current market and regulatory trends.

RBI Hikes Repo to 5.50%, Its First Rise in Nearly Four Years — What It Does to USD/INR
The Reserve Bank of India raised its policy repo rate by 25 basis points to 5.50% on Wednesday, October 7, its first increase in nearly four years, and shifted its stance to "calibrated tightening". Governor Sanjay Malhotra said outright that rate cuts are off the table for now. "Rate cuts are off the table in the near term and policy action ahead can only be a rate hike or a pause, depending on the evolving conditions and the outlook," Malhotra said. The six-member Monetary Policy Committee voted unanimously, according to multiple reports. For a retail trader, the number to sit with is not 5.50%. It is 5.25% — the Standing Deposit Facility rate, the floor of the RBI's corridor, and the rate that effectively sets what it costs to fund a short-rupee position overnight. The rupee has been weakening, and reports describe that weakness as one of the reasons the RBI moved.

Monsoon 13% Short, US Yields Above 5%; India Faces Food, Fuel & Fertilizer Shortage Risks
India is being hit by four shocks at once, according to a post on X published on Tuesday night: food, fuel, fertiliser and finance. The four numbers behind it are the ones worth checking. Monsoon rainfall running about 13% below normal and the weakest since 2015. Crude oil near $100 a barrel. None of them has been confirmed. The post attributes the framing to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar. Nothing published about Jaishankar in the past 72 hours mentions a four-F warning. Treat the attribution as unverified. What is verifiable is the timing. The post went out hours before an RBI policy decision, with Brent already slipping below $100 and US equity futures sitting at records. That split matters more to a USD/INR position than the label does. The four numbers, one at a time Everything in this section comes from the post. Food. El Niño left this year's monsoon about 13% short, the weakest since 2015, which points to lower crop harvests. Fuel. The US-Iran war has kept crude
